Absolutely infuriating that Proton Pass only allows password imports *via a browser extension* and not in ANY of their applications. This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s risky. People have to transfer unencrypted files across devices, risking leaks. And what about users who *only* have a phone? They’re forced to manually retype every password. Not everyone on the planet has money for a laptop, especially in third world countries. #Proton #ProtonPass #passwordmanagers

The lastest release of Privacy Guides is now live!
One of the biggest changes are the following:
* We added SecureBlue, a hardened linux distribution based on Fedora Silverblue.
* The removal of Canary mail, as we do not like their latest shift towards AI inclusion into their application.
* And last but least, we now recommend social networks with our first recommendation being #Mastodon !
Thank you to all contributers!

Got some crazy statics from Privacy Guides. Back in mid 2022, we had about 441.000 page views spread over roughly 100.000 viewers.
Today, 2 and half years later, our page views have increased by 408% to 1.8 million page views, and the amount of visitors have increased with 379% to 379 thousand!
Its crazy to see how much we have grown, and it makes me very excited to see how many more people we will be helping in the future!

Ever wanted to know how fingerprinting on the web works and how to prevent it?
@npub12w6…2axu just published a very neat explainer about the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMCcpV2c4K4
Highly recommended.

Gotta love it when Vpn "review" site are such obvious affiliate farms.
Just stumbled upon a new one "vpnsociety.com"
The about us page claims that they have existed since 2020, but the domain was registered about three weeks ago, and their socials have basically zero followers.
They seem to have a link with security.org, another affiliate link farm. They seem to just use a template of buzzwords to create new sites on the fly, posing as a "leader in the field".
Quite scummy if you ask me.

I am looking for thoughts on the following discussion: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/what-does-privacy-guides-see-as-opensource/20230/49
A lot of software on our site has an open source requirement. The issue is that we have never properly defined what open source means, as it means a lot of different things to a lot of different people!
Please boost so we can get some more eyes on this. :)

thinCloud instead of a thinclient?

@npub1xh7…v9hj I am interested in the change where you removed the security level button as it makes you more fingerprintable.
How does Mullvad Browser situation defer from Tor browsers situation, where the threatmodel of Tor browser is arguably higher, but is apparently less concerned about the fingerprintability of the security levels?

are you planning on maintaining this list yourself or perhaps starting a community for it?

Were are currently discussing the exact meaning of the term open source, so that it will be easier to determine whether we should add a piece of software to the recommendations or not. It mostly comes down to the open source vs FOSS debate.
Come and join in on the discussion!

Worried about your address leaking online, having it end up on one of those people search websites?
Don't worry, because we got you covered on our new data broker removal page!

The newest release of PrivacyGuides is live!
https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/2024-08-19/20197
The biggest change is that we have now added labels to our tool recommendations. The goal here is to be easily able to see what tools are mean't to defend against which type of threat, making threatmodeling easier.
We will be experimenting more with this in the future.
This change was implemented by one of our newest team members Redoomed1!
